Prevost Hose Stem Plug – Industrial Interchange

Description

Prevost Hose Stem Plug – Industrial Interchange

The Rugged Solution for Direct-to-Hose Air Connections

The Prevost Hose Stem Plug (Industrial Interchange) is designed for users who want to eliminate extra fittings and potential leak points by connecting their air plug directly into a rubber or PVC hose. Built with Prevost’s signature case-hardened steel, this hose barb (stem) plug provides a permanent, high-security connection that stands up to the rigors of heavy industrial and automotive use.

Key Features

• High-Strength Hardened Steel: Engineered to resist the “peening” and wear that occur with frequent tool changes. The hardened surface ensures the plug maintains its precise shape for a perfect, leak-free seal every time it’s inserted into a coupler.
• Precision-Machined Barbs: The stem features a series of sharp, deep-cut barbs designed to “bite” into the interior of the air hose. When used with a proper clamp (like a Prevost Ear Clamp), it creates a permanent connection that will not blow out under high pressure.
• Optimized Air Flow: The internal bore is maximized to provide unrestricted CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), ensuring that your high-demand tools—like 1/2″ impact wrenches or large grinders—receive the air volume they need for peak performance.
• Corrosion-Resistant Coating: Treated with a premium protective finish to prevent rust and oxidation, making it ideal for shops with high humidity or exposure to oils and chemicals.
• Universal Industrial Compatibility: Fully compliant with the Industrial Interchange (ISO 6150 B / MIL-C-4109) standard, often referred to as “M-Style.”

Installation Tip

For a professional, permanent, and leak-proof seal, Prevost recommends securing this hose stem plug using a Stainless Steel Single or Double Ear Clamp. This combination eliminates the bulk of a standard worm-gear screw clamp and ensures the hose is compressed evenly around the barbs for 360° security.

Ideal Applications

• Custom Whip Hoses: Creating lightweight leader hoses for air tools to reduce wrist fatigue.
• Field Repairs: Quickly replacing damaged hose ends on the job site.
• Production Lines: Building custom-length air lines for specific workstations.
• High-Vibration Tools: Superior to threaded connections in environments where constant vibration can loosen NPT fittings.
